Who are the immortals in ancient myths and legends in China?

Pingu breaks the sky.

A long time ago, heaven and earth were inseparable and the universe was chaotic. There was a giant named Pangu who slept in this chaos for eighteen thousand years.

There was only a loud noise, and the chaotic things gradually separated. Bright and clear things, slowly rising, became the sky; Heavy and muddy things, slowly falling, became the ground.

After the separation of heaven and earth, Pangu was afraid that they would meet again, so he held his head high and stepped heavily on the ground. The sky rises ten feet every day, and Pangu grows taller with it. In this way, I don't know how many teenagers passed, and heaven and earth gradually took shape, and Pangu fell down with fatigue.

Great changes have taken place in Pangu's body after his fall. The breath he exhaled became the wind and clouds of the four seasons; The sound he made turned into rumbling thunder. His eyes became the sun and the moon;

His limbs became the east, west, south and north poles of the earth; His skin became a vast land, his blood became a running river, and his sweat became rain and dew that moistened everything. ......
